Unfortunately, you're not allowed to have a lab partner on science questions. Unlike subscores, cross-test scores are not confined to a single section on the PSAT. Each cross-test score begins as a raw score.
To find your raw cross-test scores, use your scoring guide to determine which EBRW and Math questions make up which cross-test categories. Below is an example of a cross-test score overview for the Analysis in Science score:. S caled cross-test scores use a scale of note that this is different from the scoring scale used for subscores. So if I were to receive a raw score of 19 on Analysis in Science, my scaled cross-test score for that area would equal So how can you calculate this score?
Find your Reading and Writing test scores. To find these scores, calculate your raw scores for Reading and Writing and then use your raw score conversion table to convert your raw scores into scaled test scores on a scale of Find your Math test score. So how do you find this score? First, get your Math section score by matching your raw Math score to its corresponding scaled score on your conversion table.
Then, to get your Math test score, simply divide your Math section score by Add your test scores together. Next, combine your Reading, Writing, and Math test scores. This will give you a total PSAT test score on a scale of Multiply your total test score by 2. Once again, the Selection Index score range is These cutoff Selection Index scores range anywhere from For more information about the Selection Index scores needed to qualify, check out our guide on how to become a National Merit Semifinalist.
Want to improve your PSAT score by points? We have the industry's leading PSAT prep program. Built by Harvard grads and SAT full scorers , the program learns your strengths and weaknesses through advanced statistics, then customizes your prep program to you so that you get the most effective prep possible. Next up, we'll decipher the meaning of PSAT score calculations.
But what do all of these calculations mean for you? Figuring out the number of questions you'll need to get right for EBRW, however, requires you to do more than just look at a conversion table. Then, divide this score by 2 to get your estimated test scores for the Reading and Writing sections.
Finally, use official conversion tables to get a corresponding raw score for each of these two test scores. There are also percentile rankings to see where you stand compared to students nationwide, both overall and for specific skills.
There is also a personality profiler to help match you up with college majors and careers, and a feature that matches you with colleges you may be interested in, based on your potential SAT scores and your desired college location and size. The main benefit of the more detailed analysis of your results is access to personalized SAT study on the Khan Academy website.
This includes targeted practice based on your weaker areas. Finally, there's a feature that predicts AP courses you may do well in based on your results. If your report encourages you to sign up for an AP class you were already considering, go for it! But you should base your AP course load on other factors, including colleges you want to get into and your own personal interests and strengths.
We have a more detailed post on how to interpret and use your PSAT scores , but these are the basic principles of getting the most out of your PSAT score report. Don't assume your scores are a perfect prediction of your future SAT scores. They're not. However, they can give you insight into your strengths and weaknesses, which is very helpful as you begin to study for the real SAT.
The AP prediction feature College Board is adding is cool, but don't let that rule how you create your schedule. AP tests are very different than general achievement tests like the SAT, so you should think about them separately. Bottom line? Don't be stressed if you think your score is low—colleges will not see your PSAT scores.
In other words, if you score at or above the benchmark, you're on track to be ready for college when you graduate high school. If you score below the benchmark, you still have time to work on your skills. Use the detailed feedback in your online score report to see which skills need the most improvement. A percentile rank is a number between 1 and 99 that shows how you scored compared to other students. If you provided your email address on your answer sheet on test day, you'll receive an email notifying you of when your scores are available.
The email will have a unique access code that will connect you to your scores online. If you haven't already done so, you'll be asked to set up a free College Board account before you can view your scores.
